Preston Craig, who is a published<br />

artist, writer and educator originally<br />

from Louisiana, earned an<br />

M.F.A. (with honors) in Illustration<br />

from the Academy of <strong>Art</strong> University<br />

in San Francisco and a B.A. in<br />

Applied <strong>Art</strong>s from the University of<br />

Louisiana at Lafayette. Deciding to<br />

devote his creative energy to the<br />

visual arts, he has found success<br />

as a freelance illustrator, fine artist,<br />

digital artist, muralist/scenic artist,<br />

art instructor and voice over actor<br />

in the Los Angeles area.<br />

„Painting allows me freedom to<br />

address some of the social ills that<br />

plague our modern society and to<br />

paint what I feel, not necessarily<br />

what I see. Having worked with<br />

drug addicts, the homeless, victims<br />

of sexual abuse, young people<br />

who have been incarcerated, and<br />

having friends in the porn industry,<br />

I have definitely seen some of the<br />

seedier side of life. I’ve seen how<br />

people can make a bad decision<br />

and get trapped in that decision.<br />

They are unable to figure out how<br />

to get out of the situation in which<br />

they find themselves. With that in<br />

mind, I aspire to achieve social<br />

change with my art.”<br />
